Our friend Louise Farrell from South Africa came round for Supper tonight and stayed overnight. Louise was one of our guides when we went on the Walking Women trip to South Africa last Summer and she has just arrived in London where she hopes to settle and work for awhile. It is not a good time to be job hunting in London as we entered a severe recession late last year and many people are being made redundant and the banks, whose outragious risk taking has got us into this economic mess, are relying on billions of pounds of tax payers money to keep them afloat. Louise specialises in Project Management in the finance sector so she may find it a struggle to find an opening initially. We had a great evening and hope to see much more of here now she is based over here.
